SYNTACTICAL APPENDIX

AGREEMENT

1.   Substantives of multitude often take the predicate in the plural.
Sometimes also such words as quisque, uterque, nemo, etc., on the
principle of partitive apposition ; e.g., They did it each one. * G. 211,
R. I, exc. a; H. 389; A. 317. d, e, and N.; B. 254. 4. a.

2.  Two abstracts in combination, when conceived as a unit, take a
singular verb.    G. 285, exc. 2 ; H. 392. 4; A. 317. b. N.; B. 255. 3.

3.   The singular is used with two or more subjects which are con¬
ceived as acting independently. G. 285, exc. 3 and nn. ; H. 392. i ;
A. 317. c.

4.   A singular subject combined with another word by cum, with,
is treated properly as a singular. Sallust, Livy, and later writers often
treat it as a plural.    G. 285, N. 2 ; H. 389. 4; A. 317, n.

5.   When the subjects are feminine abstracts, the predicate adjective
may be neuter plural. G. 286. 3 ; H. 395. 2 and n. ; A. 287. 4. a; B.
235. B. 2. a.

6.   Demonstrative pronouns are often attracted into the gender of
the predicate.    G. 211, R. 5 ; H. 396. 2 ; A. 296. 2. a.

7.   The gender and number of the relative pronoun may be deter¬
mined by the sense, and not by the form; by the predicate or the
apposition, and not by the antecedent.

When the relative refers to combined antecedents of different
genders, the strongest gender is preferred, or the nearest; generally
the masculine if the antecedents denote persons, otherwise the neuter.
G. 614, R. 3 and R. 5 ; H. 396, 396. 2, 398. i ; A. 305, 306 and n. ; B. 250.

8.   When the relative refers to a sentence, id quod, that which, is
commonly used, or quae res, or simple quod. G. 614, R. 2 ; H. 399. 6;
A. 307. d and n. ; B. 247. i. b.
